They take money from...

...anybody. The Washington Republican, the President of the United States, our Commander in Chief of family values, the country's mandated moral compass, has a date with a porn star.

For real.

And their excuse (via WorldNetDaily for cri-eye):

Last week, Carl Forti, communications director for the National Republican Congressional Committee, explained to WND that self-described pornographer Mark Kulkis and his date, porn star Mary Carey, will be attending the two-day event, "The 2005 President's Dinner and Salute to Freedom," next Monday and Tuesday because their money is just as good as anyone else's.

"They've paid their money," he said. "No matter what they do, the money is going to go to help elect Republicans to the House."

Quick...who's the prostitute in this story?
